hi, I want to upgrade my server to feisty, it now runs on Edgy

I found the 'upgrade page' http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading

and it says to install update-manager-core but that package doesn't exist, not even in the packagelist on packages.ubuntu.com

Is this package missing and should I do the manual upgrade, or will this package be available soon?

Thanks, Casper

I am not sure if this is correct, but I found a package named unattended-upgrades.

I have installed it and is now running "unattended-upgrade -d". Wish me luck :-)

It's in the feisty repository though :D

Tried editing sources.list to install it, but it seems to just hang at 0%

This may sound stupid, but you are running "apt-get update" right?

My server isn't booted up so I don't know.

Tried both using the update manager and the usual apt-get way, they both "worked", but it just hangs during startup after running local boot scripts.

Edit: Oh, the actual login prompt appears before the startup sequence is done, so it's actually not slower it's just that i can't see the login prompt before i press enter or something.

The login-prompt is there, it just appears before the startup sequence is complete.

If you press enter it'll print out the login prompt the real place.

The problem is in /etc/event.d/tty1 (and tty2 etc.)

The last two lines should be
exec /sbin/getty 38400 tty1
respawn

not
respawn
/sbin/getty 38400 tty1exec /sbin/getty 38400 tty1

After fixing each of the tty files, my machine booted fine, though it needs a little push at the end by pressing enter.
